Good to have a sense of his other works. If Wiesel was known only as a writer, most people would be forgiven for thinking he'd be a one hit wonder with Night.
Well it's nice and small compared to the around 500 books written by Isaac Asimov. (Though that list may well include repetitive anthologies and repeated short story collections) I tip my hat to the guy who explores a writer's bibliography as I do and who takes on Asimov, because it won't be me. :P
The resilience of the human spirit amazes me. Thanks for this introduction to this writer.
Resilience, definitely. Glad you found it meaningful.

Very true. He wrote 57 books -- more than anyone should ever write, I suppose.

Haha! Me neither.
Sounds like a great writer and a great man who knew suffering....
Indeed.
